I remember seeing my Dad go to work when he obviously wasn't feeling good, and he never even considered calling in sick for the day, and he never once complained of the ailments that were afflicting him.
My Mom would often say that we were fortunate that our parents had jobs, since some people weren't able to work, and others couldn't find work. We were all taught to be grateful for what we had, and to try and help others in need when possible.
If there is one thing I wish my parents would have taught me, it would be how to manage money properly, and to save and invest for the future. By the time I realized that this would be a very beneficial skill to have as an adult, I also realized that my parents were never taught by their parents either. Suddenly, I wanted to educate myself on the subject so that I could pass it on to my own children.
Living paycheck to paycheck is the reason that I started an online business. I am now earning a living, and sharing that experience with everyone I know that has also struggled just to live. Tomorrow is never guaranteed, so make today count.
